A Vero Beach man and woman were arrested on numerous drug possession charges when officers waiting serve a search warrant on the man's house searched the pair in their car instead.

Detectives with the Vero Beach Police Department Special Investigations Unit were waiting Wednesday near the home of William L. Watson, 38, in the 800 block of 19th Street when Watson drove up.

As they approached the vehicle, officers saw a woman, later identified as Jessica Dollins, 37, who lives next door to Watson, "drop a glass pipe between her legs and onto the floorboard, and Watson place a clear plastic bag in the center console," according to a police department report.
